This is partly why I like the aforementioned new Ardboyz rules. The utility of your choice matters more as it effectively turns them into a different battlefield role in defenders or aggressors and doesn't as easily or blatantly show which is better.
If this became a usr for spears and hand weapons I'd be thrilled!
Also I love to see rend toned down to where no rend is the norm and when you start getting into elite and heavy weapons is when it starts showing.
I do prefer simpler and faster rules but I do like options as well. I'd rather see see more balanced load out options than just merging of all options.
Imo a recent perfect example of this is the Ardboyz. Their spears get +1 rend upon being charged but the hand weapons get a +1 attack to the unit if it charged. Very flavorful, powerful, and mechanically engaging. I'd love to see more of this.
It was very cool to see Ol Skaggy given some powerful representation.
The "been around and fought enough of you ratties to know the musk of your fear" part was a nice and menacing touch as well.
Edit: Would be fantastic to read about Skaggy and a new Gitmob warlord (or even a glow up to Rippa) having to unite for a common enemy. 😉
@Luperci
The yellow and black is awesome! 🤘
Edit: Saw apic recently where the painter had done similar but with a badmoon theme so only one half, eyes, mouth, and teeth were a yellow crecent bad moon face and other half was black very similar to yours
Great job.
If we're talking about The Honest Wargamer Rob then I believe this man to be a Saint in this community and hobby! St Robicus Badassatronicus!!!
Thanks for all you do, bud!!!
Annnnd you have outstanding taste in woman. 😍😄
I'd prefer something for mainline AoS but I'll take a hobgrot underworlds band. Hope it's sizable like Zarbags if that's the case.
Edit: and for the record I'm hoping hobs go to 20s. 🤘
Is anyone going to adepticon? I still haven't decided if I want to take the 7 1/2 hr drive yet.
But if I do I'll grab some extra goodies for our forum fam here that would otherwise be unable to outside of jacked up ebay prices. 🤜🤛🖤
Warhammer, not hunter gatherer hammer. 😄
Appreciate all responses to the subject but we shouldn't derail this thread.
Chicks rock! Dudes rock! Let's roll some dice y'all! 🤘
I'll add that the kruleboyz monsta killaz albeit the beastnob were far more in line with bonesplitterz aesthetic than most of the current krules range.
Aesthetic was there but warband composition is off imo as far as a win. Just felt lackluster to me.
@Nezzhil I hope you're right about the hobgrot warband and not just tickling my fancy... 😶
I don't have the models BUT I have taken a hard look at unassembled bits across the web as I was curious myself and I didn't think it was.
Awesome if true!!
I'm in the opposite here. I'm not a fan of faction terrain. There's been some cool models but to me it's just one one big thing I HAVE to get to play an army and you don't really get to "play" with it as it just sits there and has rules.
Different strokes for different folks.
Edit: If it became more interactive and not necessary I'd be on board. An example being like a turret that overlords can plop down after claiming an objective or like an orruk totem that is placed in the same way but just plopping down a huge thing in the middle of a battlefield comes off as silly to me.
Like I guess opponents only ever fight gloomspite at the entrance of their territories?... O_o
That's just bad Intel. 😄
And concerning clanrats I'd say it's a safe bet they're getting a glowup. I mean they are THE battline of skaven.
It'd be silly not to. The old kit is great but it's a new edition and time to get the level of dynamism into them that we see across AoS.
